I’m struggling to envision how this would impact homeowners differently than the current property tax paradigm. If I have a house and the value of the property goes up, my property taxes increase. If I were to sell a house at market rate, t

As far as I’m concerned, until electric cars are as convenient to charge as gas is to fill up with, it’s a no-go for me. There simply isn’t the infrastructure where I live and frequently travel in the Eastern US to meet my driving needs. Th
